🎄 Book review: The Twelve Dates of Christmas - Jenny Bayliss

Title: The Twelve dates of Christmas

Author: Jenny Bayliss

My rating: 4 stars


Description: Kate Turner is happily single – a bit too happily, in fact. Since returning to her hometown of Blexford, a sleepy village where everybody knows each other, and between catching up with her oldest friends Laura and Matt, a flourishing career as a fabric designer, and taking care of her beloved dad, love hasn’t really had a look in.

But Kate does love Christmas. So when Laura insists she signs up to the Twelve Dates of Christmas, a brand new dating app service, she doesn’t need too much persuading. Twelve perfect festive dates with the area’s most eligible men – who could say no?

Amongst the twinkling lights and over hot chocolates and glasses of red wine, romance is easy to find. But with each date, Kate learns more about the men, and even more about herself.

As the big day approaches, Kate’s left wondering – is it really the season for true love, or will this Christmas be the coldest yet?



My opinion:

Kate is a very warm and loveable character and the village of Blexford seems to be such a lovely place with tight knit community made of friends. That makes the story very pleasant to read. I really enjoyed the detailed descriptions of the winter scenery.

The main character is bright, funny and hapilly single but her friend thinks she needs a man. She finally gives up and sign up to a Twelve Dates of Christmas campain. 12 dates means 12 different men to choose from. How exciting!

The Twelve Dates of Christmas is very light and happy story. Perfect Christmas read full of snow, mince pies and mulled wine. Kate's encounters with men made me laugh so hard.

If you're a lover of Christmas romance you'll definitely like this one.

  Title: The choice Author: Alex Lake My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Description: A kidnap… Matt Westbrook only turned his back for a moment. But when he looks around, his car – with his three young children inside – has vanished. A ransom… Panicked, Matt assumes a car thief has got more than he bargained for, but then he starts to receive text messages:  This is a kidnap. If you want to see your children again, you will exchange them for your wife. A choice… Matt and his wife Annabelle are horrified. They can’t involve the police, or their children will be killed. Which means they have to choose: Annabelle, or their children. Either option is unthinkable. But one is inevitable. And they have only hours to make their decision… My opinion: A car disappears with three young children inside. At first Matt thinks he's being pranked by one of his friends. Then he gets a text message from the kidnapper asking for a ransom. Surprisingly they don't demand money but Anabelle, Matt's w...

Book review: What my sister knew - Nina Laurin

Title: What my sister knew Author: Nina Laurin My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Description: "...currently wanted by the police. If you know anything about the suspect's whereabouts, please call..." I look up at the TV screen, and my twin brother's face is splashed across it, life-size. It's a shock that makes my breath catch. This is my brother as an adult, my brother who I last saw fifteen years ago after the fire that killed our parents, covered in soot, clutching a lighter in his hand, his knuckles stark white against the dirt and ash. Everyone always said he'd grow up to be a heartbreaker. But his face has gone gaunt instead. The stubble on his cheeks and chin is patchy, and his eyes look dull and dark. My first thought is that it's not him. Not my beautiful brother, the golden boy who everyone loved. Yet, deep down, I've always known this would eventually happen. What did you do this time, Eli? What the hell did you do? My opinion: I've rated...
